mainlining shenanigans
195615ecc8
Loongson-3's COP2 is Multi-Media coprocessor, it is disabled in kernel mode by default. However, gslq/gssq (16-bytes load/store instructions) overrides the instruction format of lwc2/swc2. If we wan't to use gslq/ gssq for optimization in kernel, we should enable COP2 usage in kernel. Please pay attention that in this patch we only enable COP2 in kernel, which means it will lose ST0_CU2 when a process go to user space (try to use COP2 in user space will trigger an exception and then grab COP2, which is similar to FPU). And as a result, we need to modify the context switching code because the new scheduled process doesn't contain ST0_CU2 in its THERAD_STATUS probably. For zboot, we disable gslq/gssq be generated by toolchain. Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhc@lemote.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Bogendoerfer <tsbogend@alpha.franken.de> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
